- Hey guys, Aron here with 4 The Love Of Tech.
And what if I told you
there was a way to turn your Apple Pencil
into an actual pencil?
Stick around and find out
exactly how we're gonna do that.
(futuristic tech music)
Here we go.
Here is our dbrand skin.
Let's go ahead and get this thing opened up
and see the insides.
So in the box we have got
the actual pencil.
We have what appears to be
the wooden part, the middle part,
and the eraser part.
You're thinkin',
"What do we do with all these parts Aron?"
And I'm like, "Alright internet let me show you."
Before we get started
don't forget to get your blow dryer
'cause we're gonna need it.
(blow dryer blowing)
I would suggest to grabbin' yourself
a little eyeglass wipe, or something,
and just cleaning this off
before you actually start
getting into sticking things on.
First things first.
We have to start with the wooden part
which is the tip of the pencil.
Now dbrand is awesome
so they actually sent two different sets altogether,
so in case you mess up
you can do it over again.
So here is the pencil part.
Now you have to remember
and put it on the right way.
You're gonna want to get it
as absolutely perfect as you can
in order to make that nice, good pencil.
Alright so I have it on,
and I'm just gonna start over here,
pressing down and wrapping it on.
So there you go.
So here's the first example
of what we're gonna do with the blow dryer.
Before we start smashing those down
and making the wrinkles basically permanent
on the skin,
we're gonna heat it up.
Since all of your contents are down here
I suggest that you heat up,
going away from it, upwards,
so that way you don't blow your stuff everywhere.
(blow dryer blowing)
So we heat it up.
The plastic should be a little bit more adhesive,
sticky, and more malleable,
meaning it's gonna do what we want it to do.
Here's the first part
of the installation
which actually came out really good.
I'm really happy with this.
Next is going to be the silver piece.
Gonna take this
and wrap it right below the wood portion.
Slowly wrapping it around.
We're in no hurry to get this done
so take your time
and make sure you are happy with the results.
If you are not happy with the results
dbrand gives you extras.
Rip it off and start over.
That's why they do it,
'cause they want you to be happy.
This is starting to shape up like a pencil.
Now we're going to do the actual pencil itself.
Got it on one side,
slowly go around and push down.
Remember, if there's a bubble or an imperfection
now's the time to back it up
before you put it all the way on.
So make sure you are happy
with the way it is looking.
Slow, apply pressure, not too much
because then we'll have a broken Apple Pencil.
That would make a good video too,
but not today.
So here it is,
it's halfway done.
Let's finish it up.
(blow dryer blowing)
I just warmed this up
so I could get the adhesive, this seam here,
nice and close,
because as you can see
you really can't see it.
You can't really even see the seam anymore
'cause I got it pretty darn good.
See, there it is right there.
You can see it.
Unless you're looking directly at it
it's not even noticeable.
Alright, so, this is startin'
to really shape up to look like a pencil.
We just have the tip left.
This is the eraser part
which, there's a handful of steps to this one.
So let's go ahead
and take our time
and do it correct.
We take this, peel it off, and we put it on.
(blow dryer blowing)
The only part left
that doesn't look like a pencil is the tip
and they actually gave us, there,
a couple tips
that we can go ahead and use.
So you can see those.
I'm going to actually start with the medium one,
the one in the middle.
The directions suggest
you start with the smallest one, but.
I think if we go through
and you put this on,
and you cover the tip
until you're happy.
You're like, "Hey, that fits.
"I'm okay with that."
So there's that.
As you can see
there's a little bit of white coming through
and this is what you're gonna get
if you go for the medium tip.
So I'm gonna say
I don't want the medium tip.
I want the bigger one.
Alright, so we're gonna go ahead
and put this on there
and see how this fits.
If it's any better of a result.
And I'm feeling like
it is what it is at this point, guys.
This is the product
and this is the end result.
I'm gonna go ahead and use my finger
to smooth that out.
Now they did send a microfiber cloth
if you wanna use that
to smooth out the edges.
I think my edges look pretty good,
pretty amazing.
I'm really happy with this.
So here it is.
Doesn't affect the charging at all,
came right up.
When you put the Apple Pencil on right there,
the little notification comes up.
Easy peasy, no issues.
So this is it.
You want a pencil?
An actual number two looking pencil
for your iPad pro?
This is for the Apple Pencil two.
It looks phenomenal.
You've got the wood, the silver,
the yellow paint.
You got your eraser.
It's a number two pencil.
It's unique.
It's different.
Not everybody is going to have it.
Everyone's got an iPad.
Everyone's got an iPad Pro,
but do they have an Apple Pencil?
And do they have any number two looking Apple Pencil
brought to you by dbrand skins?
